To me, although the perspective is completely wrong to tell, the wheel base does not look like 121 inches. Then again, Mercedes is imfamous for making large vehicles look small (S, CL). If these are true pictures of the New S-Class, I'd rather keep my old S-Class. I believe mercedes is so caught up in marketing their cars to a newer generation that they forget to throw in a handful of grace and beauty like the current S had. But then again, all things that are new, are often look down upon.

There's no second hump on the dash for the screen so I'm guessing these are wrong, just photochops.

Frankly, I don't care what it looks like at this stage because they are ALL computer renderings. I'll wait until the car is almost about to come out before starting to make assumptions.

Do they redesign the W220s every 5 years?


I think the side looks a little sporty when you look at the car from the front angle.

Sportiness is the last thing we need for the Mercedes Flagship chariot. First they should make it as luxurious as possible. If I want sportiness I'll get a R230, if I want to haul four people, I'll get a W215.

What I meant was if I was looking for a sporty car AND needed room for four.

By the looks of it, the navigation screen will be hard to view by the driver, if it is not flush against the opening. Look at all those buttons lined up along the dash. This car is shaping up to be very clumsy.

What's all that crap piled up in the console, ozium spray, pipe and friendship bracelets? what about all the mcdonalds wrappers in the driver door pockets?

Time to invest in a few more mods for the old W220!

The rear lights look just like the ones on my daily driver Hyundai Elantra. LOL First the CLK/Accord, then the Big Bird/Enzo SLK, and now the Hyundai S-Class LOL. Well the front's not bad...
